The Swedish COVID‐19 response has received excessive attention, despite not having distinctively different goals or features than other countries. The overall response has included almost all sectors of society and cannot be described here. Instead, this paper provides a general, brief description of the response from a public health perspective, but hopefully it gives a somewhat more nuanced picture of the efforts to combat COVID‐19 in Sweden.
